The mission has an E3 demo version found in the files of the game. It can be reactivated, and it has a few differences:

The chase with Apu does not change the song at all, and Apu's AI is set to the "easycop" difficulty, which is not used in the game at any time. Also, the player is given more time when collecting the flatmeat and would have to talk to Cletus before completing the mission, but in the final game, the conversation happens automatically.

In 2016, two prerelease asset discs were found which contained several information changed in the final game, dated around June to August 2003. The assets reveal that Bart needed a toilet plunger for the Truckasaurus instead of a satellite dish.
